SUMMARY Department of Defense customers require devic-es that provide a simple interface, ease of use, light weight and are capable of receiving high bandwidth streams and data. The cellular 4G/LTE frequency range allows the user communi-ty to use small light weight devices that provide this exact capability and more. Numerous civil-ian and military organizations are looking to programs such as the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) application and server suite or oth-er Blue Force Tracking programs. 4G/LTE provides these communities with private guaran-teed bandwidth that can be shared, shaped, and aggregated across multiple devices according the users’ requirements. “13,000 ft is exactly where we want to position a 4G/

LTE node, for on-the-ground users to reach and

pull data” said DoD customer involved in testing.

BUSINESS NEEDS Existing program of record radios and systems cannot provide the high-capacity throughput, mobility, or flexibility that is organic to 4G/LTE cellular systems. Lociva 4G/LTE systems have proven to be a best-of-breed LTE system able to scale from supporting small-team sized elements to larger forward operating base level sites.

SOLUTION To address this issue, 4k Solutions has partnered with Lociva, the premier provider of deployable 4G/LTE nodes, to tailor and build a package able to easily transported, installed, and operated on an aerial platform or ground based facility. This concept was tested and validated using a PC-12 aircraft. 4K and Lociva engineers where able to configure and install the node into the aircraft in less that 4 hours and immediately fly multiple missions and transmit 4G/LTE at 60 watts from various altitudes up to 13,000 ft. The node was able to support numerous users – the test involved approximately 10 devices but the MACRONET is capable of supporting up to 400 simultaneous data-sessions. The node was flawlessly operated by a former Army Ranger communications specialist with a mere 3 hours of training on the LTE system. This validated the ease of use in installing, operating and maintain-ing aspect of employment. Over the course of testing, devices were able to move upwards of 10 km away from the orbit of PC-12 and were still able to connect to the MACRONET to pull full-motion video feeds being pushing from the PC-12 and simultaneous-ly also send and receive positional data, text files, route information and high resolution still-frame pictures.

BENEFITS: Ease of Implementation The Lociva suite of deployable 4G/LTE nodes can be easily employed with little to no set up time, with an “instant on” capability that cannot be reviled. Ease of Training Someone with a working knowledge of networking, TCP/IP, and antenna installation can quick install operate and maintain a Lo-civa 4G/LTE node. All the inter-face GUIs are intuitive and simple to configure with minimal training (less than fours is the norm) Ease of Scale and Configuration Lociva 4G/LTE nodes can be easi-ly scaled to the user base that needs to be supported and the frequency bands that are desired.
